The Mini supermini range, stylized as MINI, consists of retro-styled three-door hatchbacks and two-door convertibles marketed under various names like Mini Cooper, Mini Hatch, Mini Hardtop, Mini One, and Mini John Cooper Works. Since 2014, the range expanded with the introduction of five-door hatchbacks. This family of cars was launched in July 2001 after German automaker BMW acquired the Mini brand. Initially unveiled as a concept car in 1997 under the BMW-owned Rover Group, the new Mini’s design was inspired by the original Mini and received positive feedback from the public.

Following the discontinuation of the classic Mini in 2000 after the sale of the Rover Group, BMW officially launched the Mini range in 2001. As part of BMW’s strategy, the Mini brand added larger models to its lineup over the years. These models include the Clubman in 2007, the Countryman in 2010, the Paceman in 2012, and the Aceman slated for release in 2024.
